Timeform Daily: Monday, Plumpton 15:40

Monday's Race of The Day comes from Plumpton

Timeform look at this interesting amateur riders' handicap chase.

The Gossmoor Yank showed he retained ability over hurdles after a long absence for Paul Nicholls last season, but disappointing since, offering little over fences last twice. Risky in first-time cheekpieces.

Digger Gets Lucky has been lightly raced in recent years, winning 27f handicap chase at Wincanton in November 2011. May have needed last month's reappearance and been given a chance in the weights.

Sole Agent was just touched off in this 12 months ago but raced just 3 times since, third in hunter at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Wouldn't be biggest surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers refitted.
 
Global Warming is often subject of market support, and retains most of his ability judged on keeping-on fourth at Wincanton (21f) in December. Disappointing back over 3m at Exeter next time, though.

Jupiter Rex hasn't looked back of late, completing hat-trick back over fences at Ludlow (3m) last week, pulling clear. Unpenalised for that and big chance of getting 4-timer up.

Miss Fleur put up 2 good placed efforts in a row for a change the last twice, pulling clear with winner at Lingfield (3m) last time. Worth keeping on side.

Massini Sunset is a temperamental sort who bolted up at Chepstow in March. Mixed bag since, doing a tad better when third at that venue in January, but a moody display since at Lingfield.

Quartz de Montceau has gone 2 from 3 for Diana Grissell, following up Folkestone victory with all-the-way success in 3-runner C&D event last month. This is tougher.

Whitcombe Spirit won over fences here (17f) a year ago for Jamie Poulton. Struggled in the main this season, though, and others look safer even with promising course-winning amateur in the saddle.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Jupiter Rex
2. Sole Agent
3. Miss Fleur

Timeform view: Jupiter Rex is on a roll and can get the 4-timer up from the same mark as for last week's impressive Ludlow success. Diana Grissell has a strong hand and last year's second Sole Agent could be interesting, while Miss Fleur has found a bit of consistency and may be involved again.
